COURSE OVERVIEW & ORGANIZATION

Recent surveys of senior corporate leaders reveal that finding, growing and retaining top
talent is among the very top challenges in leading a contemporary organization. Effective talent
management is certainly strategic – how an organization invests in and allocates resources to the
attraction, retention and development of its talent pipeline. But talent management is also
intensely individual – how effectively members of the organization identify and pursue personal
development and are coached to effectively acquire the skill-set they will need to function
effectively as a senior leader.

With that in mind, is designed to mirror the multi-dimensional nature of talent


management in organizations. The first segment of the course will have a traditional feel and is
an extension of a discussion of strategic talent development that occurred during your in-
residence last summer. We will focus on your course text and some of the best writing and cases
associated with effective talent management practice in organizations. The second segment will
ask you to specifically assess how to integrate talent management processes into an effective
management structure.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The course is targeted toward business managers and not human


resource functional specialists. The over-arching goal is to translate the best
thinking and research evidence on talent management into practice in your
firm. Toward that end, we will focus exclusively on authentic cases and
examples as models of effective and ineffective talent management practice.

After completing this course, students will be better able to: 1) assess
how talent management processes feed into effective strategic management
2) make the business case for strategic attention and investment in talent
management 3) describe and understand the talent management principles
and practices most likely to positively affect organizational performance 4)
evaluate the nature and quality of talent management practices in
contemporary organizations and 5) maybe you will have thought about
some of these issues from a different perspective.

Webinars

I have planned weekly Zoom sessions. I will also create supplemental Zoom sessions that will
discuss in greater detail topics covered in the readings or in the Zoom session – but on which a
lot more could be discussed. Each session will, of course, be taped and posted in Canvas for
those who cannot attend. However, I hope that many of you can join in “live” on most or all of
those sessions. Please plan to make as many of those sessions as you can and to participate
actively. Each session is scheduled for 45+ minutes.
